E.U. Employers To Be Held Liable For Porn Spam?

Posted by timothy on from the hostile-environment-defined dept.

Cowards Anonymous writes "Yahoo News has a story about a study of Europe's new anti-spam legislation. The overly broad wording of the legislation, according to the study, could allow employees to sue employers for not doing enough to stop porn spam. Businesses could be sued by their workers for allowing a hostile work environment. The author of the study advises companies running email servers to use filtering technology, and warn employees about the sometimes sleazy content of spam."

    ..how Old Europe is hostile to private enterprise and businesses. Is it any wonder why the best and brightest businesses and innovation come from the USA and Asia?

    Today, Europe is little more than a glorified Disneyland; great place to visit and eat, nothing more.
